Rear Shock Absorber for 1971-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle & More - KYB KG5529

Firm up the ride and help restore controlled damping to your Volkswagen with the KYB shock absorber KG5529, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber designed for the rear position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1971-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle, 1952-1977 Volkswagen Beetle and 1955-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

• Monotube gas design: Two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston — that resists fade caused by aeration.
• Extra damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for your Volkswagen and vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
• Fade-free operation: The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for consistent response, and the triple chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear.
• Steering feel: Higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response.

Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced handling.
